Justin Rose Driver Swing Analysis Slow Motion
Justin Rose has become one of the oldest winners on the PGA Tour. He’s had such longevity in the game of golf. And what we’re going to do is break down his swing, see what’s caused that longevity, and also just have a little look at some of the idiosyncrasies in terms of physical limitations that Justin has and how they influence his golf swing. So, if we see, we’ve got face on and down the line here. this face on view. I know it’s a little bit off kind of angle here with the camera pointing open this way, but that’s fine. I want to analyze the movements. And this is from a little bit earlier in the year, whereas the down the line is from his PJ tour to win. So, we can see some subtle differences that he’s made or changes he’s made. So, if we look from this face on view, we’ll see with this driver got a nice bit of spine tilt there. Grips pretty neutral. of anything. A touch on the stronger side, but fairly fairly neutral there. You’ll notice footwise, he flares his left foot out a little bit. Right foot a little bit less. We’ll get into that a little bit further in the down swing. And then if we look from face on, just very clean lines there. You’ll notice he’s aligned nicely with all his body angles there with the alignment sticks on the floor just to help him. And then in terms of his posture, you’ll know that neutral spine that he’s keeping. So he’s just reflecting the the natural curvature of his own spine. Those hang arms hang just outside the shoulders. As you can see there, he’s hitting mini driver on the left. And then he’s got really nice balance points with that center of the kind of feur sitting just above the ankle bones. Well, just behind, should I say, to be really pedantic. You’ll also note Justin has got this sort of little mouth move where he’s kind of clenching his lips there. I think that’s more to relax his upper spine, his neck. Whether that’s conscious, I don’t know. Be interesting. So, if we look at the face on view, have a look at Justin’s couple of triggers here. So, you’ll see got this little bump with the left knee, that little subtle move. And then you’ll also note, bit of a weird one, as he’s taking the club back, look how that left foot comes up off the ground and moves. You see that? Very, very subtle. Love watching these little triggers. Really interesting. You’ll see a lot of guys do this. I think it adds a lot of athleticism to the swing. So, I think I think it’s a really good move to try and copy. Notice Adam Scott started doing it as well. So, a little tip there. So, if we look from this face on view, you’ll see how he rot rotates his neck subtly. And if you look at that red line, he’s going to just bump into that to really load that trail leg. That weight’s going to be on the inside of the right instep here as he starts to take this club away to this takeaway. You can see how he’s rotated the head and then he just bumps the hips then starts to rotate and just gets into this really nice loaded takeaway position. We look from face on. You can see it’s funny looking at sorry the down the line view how you don’t see a lot of those triggers that you do see in that face on kind of position. So if you’re looking at this position gets into that takeaway position. The left knee’s come out a little bit forward. He’s got a little bit of rotation through the hips and a little bit of tilt. The club head just outside his hands. You’ll note little bit of separation here with the arms, which we’ll talk a little bit further along in the swing. He does work on that with one of those smart balls. And then the club face. A lot of people would probably see I’m rubbish at drawing lines today. would like to see that club face a little bit more shut, but he does open it up ever so slightly if we’re doing the, you know, the traditional does that club face match spine angle, but he does a brilliant job of getting it nice and square at the top. I’ll take those lines off. Let’s bring him a little bit further along. You’ll start to see Justin’s right arm starts to wander a little bit behind him here. Sets the club up beautifully. You’ll note how that but of the club’s pointing down at the ball. I love that. And let’s bring him back. You’ll see he starts to he’s had that bump to the right hand side and then starts to rotate. And you’ll see this little kind of body lift up. You see that? Just very very slightly. Can’t see it massively on camera. You’d see it on 3D. It just ever so slightly lifts that torso up here. Then you’ll note, I know the camera angle’s a little bit this way, but you see a lot of the right elbow. You’ll note how that right elbow’s a little bit lower than the left. That’s you see more guys generally on tour having that right arm a little bit higher than that in that position. Something but then let’s bring him up to the top. You can see how that right arm starts to trail quite far behind him here and he gets that separation in the arms a little bit more than a lot of guys. But again, I’m going to guess that’s more of a physical thing. And then let’s bring him up to the top here. Look how much that head’s rotating and moving in this or the finishing of the back swing here. See, he’s a lot of movement there. And then let’s just pause him just before he gets into the transition. I’ll just take him back one frame. So, we can see that you’ll see at this top of the back swing position. Nice bit of torso rotation, bit of hip rotation there. You can see the tilts there from his spine and torso. A lot of that left leg you’ll see at the top. And note that club face is really nice and parallel to that left arm. Nice neutral position. And then I want to watch a couple of things here. Watch how Justin in this transition, watch this belt buckle. So, you’re going to see this belt buckle within a few frames how much it’s moving down and to the left. And Justin’s not known for a super powerful player, but trust me, if you watched him hit balls, you’d think he was a long hitter. Not by tour standards, but your everyday golfer, he absolutely bombs it. You can see how quickly that hips move down. Now little those hands have moved and from the face on. You can see this by how he regains that right knee and that left knee starts to work out the way. See that really really nice position of maintaining those angles. That’s what I love about Justin swing so much. You’ll see now this right elbow is lower than the left. That’s really going to shallow that club out nicely. Then let’s bring him a few more frames down. See quite a lot of bend in that left arm. Don’t need to keep that left arm straight like a lot of people say. I prefer the term like softly straight, not poker straight. You can see I this is an older swing and Justin here looks a little bit more stuck. See how you can see a lot of that right elbow there whereas looks on this screen a little bit more out in front of him. That’s probably why he’s one this week. So if we bring him down a few more frames, you can see how that club is really shallow nicely. Like I say, he does have this tendency of that right arm getting a little bit stuck behind him. I think that what what can contribute sometimes to his back pain and you can kind of see it in that frame how kind of hunched up and stuck and almost look how the neck or the eyes is back here. So that can cause a bit of issue around the back there. All that torsion and twist. And you’ll also note that right pelvis at this point when the hips are kind of parallel to the target, that right side of the pelvis is a touch higher. So again, that can cause some issues in that lumbar region, which Justin I think has had. So let’s bring him down a few more frames. And you can see how he starts to tilt back up with it being driver. Look at his head, how it’s tilting back to get that upward angle of attack there. So, let’s bring him on this face on view. And you’ll see he’ll just look at that. Wouldn’t it be great to be that athletic that you could get into these positions? Let’s bring him into this really impact position here. So, he’s lost a little bit of angle. Stood up a little bit, I’d say. Let me just draw a line in his butt there. You can see it just stands up ever so slightly. Probably not the right word if I’m honest. It’s more of like a hunch or a crunch in this region which creates a ton of speed and power and then he’s getting into this pre-ely position. Let’s have a look at this. So, you can see a little bit of his butt there. So, he’s rotated those hips. You can see that from the face on view. You can see how that right elbow sits just below the right shoulder. That club shaft really nice and parallel with the target here. That club face is not quite matching spine angle, a little bit open to spine angle, but Justin has got more of a release that we’ll talk about later on in the swing than a lot of this new kind of traditional of keeping that well, it’s not traditional if it’s new, but having that club face a little bit more closed coming down and less of an active release. So, we’ll come in and then from here, you can see how we’ll start to lose a little bit of angle in that trail wrist, that right wrist to square up that club face. But watch, you see how he’s just moving that right wrist, just releasing it. And he’ll kind of stall out the body. Let’s get him in that impact position. Shoulders little bit open. Chest is definitely open. And the hips are definitely open. Maybe look from face on. Not as good as a camera sort of in terms of the frames per second, but you can see how that belt buckle starts to move. It’s going down in this position and then starts to move up and then he’s going to release that right hand. You can see how he’s lost a lot of that angle now because he is releasing it. You’ll see this more active release from just You can see how quickly, look at that right hand here. how much of the right hand you can see so early. He’s got that very active release because that club face like you can see it here just doing it. It’s just a squaring motion. You can see in that right arm, that right arm’s really working out and over just because that face is a touch open for what a lot of people would consider the modern day release. So, he really releases it down. You know, it’s more of a traditional swing. You can see how much that right arm’s wrapping over. You can really see it there. And I want you to take note of how much Justin kind of flares that foot out. He’s got a little bit of issues, I think, around his ankle. So, he has to do that just to facilitate the rotation through the hip. And it’s also why I think that he has that release because he’s not able to rotate fully through that hip and have like a more of a square club face here because that would inhibit him just from his natural tendencies of his lower body. It looks like he’s tight around that ankle and that hip. So, something to learn about there that it’s not always the correct way to be traditional or textbook, whatever the modern day sort of swing is. So, you see he’ll really release it, gets nice extension. That shaft starts to exit through his left shoulder. You can see how much he has kind of rotated that club face over with the club face being down. And you can see that look at that right hand here and this follow through which it’s rotating over. That’s just because he’s a little bit more open than a lot of players means he can hit a lot of neutral shots unlike some guys that you know they have a square close face and the kind of one shot masters whereas Justin with that kind of pattern can hit it both ways might be good might be bad. You can see as well here, Justin’s got this kind of hang back a little bit again, which can cause a little bit of pressure in that lower back. Again, I think that’s related more to this position here of the right arm getting a little bit behind him and that right hip getting a little bit too high. But you can see how it’s very much under and then flip. I mean, that’s probably the wrong way of putting it, but you know, you can kind of understand what I’m saying from my explanation. And then he works it into follow through. Keeps his head down for a long time, Justin. Again, that can cause some back pain, but I bet you his left eye dominant just from you’ll see that guys that keep the head down a long time. And then also in this motion here, have that little rotation early with the head often left eye dominant. So you see him keep the head down a lot longer. So then we’ll get him into finish. Get stacked nicely. I love Justin swing. He’s always had great kind of balance and that finish. You’ll see all the weight on that heel side up. Everything kind of is stacked now over the left side. But I mean, it’s a great great action. He’s won a ton of events. He’s longevity on tours just been absolutely phenomenal. So, you can see some of his flaws there, but you can see how much good he has in the golf swing. And it’s also important to recognize like nobody’s textbook. He’s got a few things that maybe don’t go along with the current textbook. You know, he’s a little bit more open, a little bit more releasy than the modern swing, but it’s still a very, very pretty and efficient swing.

The ball is very centred from his stance rather than forward.
